Apparently in a pseudo-status of "ready to proceed on the line"...not officially D1, no scheduled delivery date, etc. .... around 8 weeks from when ordered at the dealer....7 weeks since they input the order in the system.

I would not expect to many peope to get D1 until after the 1st of March. Than is when the 730 RHR will go into production.

yeah but what about those who ordered back in Dec and knew they were getting the 430N? We haven't seen many pictures posted with the exception to Dan's dealer stalking and the few auto shows. Surely there are some JG members with a Summit who can provide more pictures and videos?

Just for the entertainment value of it (President's Day and all), I called the hotline this morning to see where my Summit was and heard a new one, a lady told me mine was in paint and the delivery date was 2/22. Now, if the paint story is true (yeah sure) she must have meant 3/22. Now that would make sense time-wise. Great stories come from the hotline!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For kicks, I called the hotline today as well. This time the person said I was still at "gateline" and no further info. I told her last week a rep indicated it went to "D1". She said they can't see those types of status info and that person incorrectly answered my question. She told me to call every week & they would be happy to provide whatever update is available. She also indicated that the dealers and others can actually provide better status info than them. She said she wished she had access to better info to help her customers. So the lesson here is Jeep's customer service is clueless & only get excited when Milous indicates it moved into a D1 status. I will lay low until after March 1st and hope to see some of our orders move.

I was answering the question about those that ordered the Summit with the 730N RHR.

I would not expect to many peope to get D1 until after the 1st of March. Than is when the 730 RHR will go into production.

^ I agree. Since production is supposed to start after March 1st, I am sure that our orders will start moving after then.

As far as my order goes, I have no idea LOL I haven't gone onto the Site Support to get a status from Milous. And I haven't called the dealer yet to find out what is going on. I am in a rush, but I'm not at the same time. I'm willing to wait as long as they build it right, and I get what I ordered. Delivery sometime in April would be perfect.

so lets say you pay $45,000 for your Summit (just a rough number) which was ordered on 2/1/11 at a set price. Now, lets say it takes 6 months to get your Overland, which, might be about the same time details on the 2012 Summit's come out. How long should you wait on your 2011 Overland (i'm referring to summit's here) before depreciation sets in? lets say it takes six months... a 2011 vehicle isn't worth as much as a 2012 vehicle. should you try and negotiate a better deal with the dealer?

^^^Good question. I decided to wait another year or so to get a Jeep. There were other factors that caused me to make this decision, but the fact that I could get a new 2012 or even a nice late built 2011 used for who knows how much less really made me think twice about it. As tough as its going to be to wait this out its for the best.

If I were to order a Jeep at a time where the end of the line for the 2011's is near I would absolutely wait for the 12's. Not only that but the possibility of minor changes/updates/additions.
